=Your Task:= ===You will be assigned one topic related to the Chesapeake Bay to research. The task requires you to use active reading skills. Each topic will have questions your group will answer. As you are reading, you must take notes using "fact fragments."===

===The final project is to develop a nonfiction class book about the Chesapeake Bay using your notes. Each student will be required to construct one page for the class book. When designing your page, keep in mind what you know about the format (structures and components) of expository texts.===

=Directions:=

2. Using the books in the classroom and the links indicated on your page, read and take notes (fact fragments) under each question.
===3. Each student will use a computer, but only one computer will be used to write fact fragments under the questions. Each member of the group should be involved in sharing the fact fragments that will be recorded. Work together, talk about what you are learning, and become more informed about your topic.===
